Interesting read..

" It appears a few pints of beer won’t be sufficient to douse the latest language tensions brewing in Montreal — this time, Quebec’s language watchdog is frothing over a popular watering hole cluttered with classic Irish signage and English-only posters. "

Talk about bad publicity for Irish.

Where's the owner from, in Ireland, if I may lob the inevitable question?
